Hi

I have a 1.2 2004 Reg Fiat Idea and I can't open the boot from the outside. Neither the key fob or the button on the boot will work, but it can be open from the inside by fiddling with the latch. I had the battery replaced not long before the boot stopped working.

Getting worried because it's time for the MOT soon and I haven't got the money to fail
 
Ok, this might sound silly but the boot open on the key fob needs a long press for it to work and not just a short one like the doors do (you probably already know this but just checking in case you didn't). Secondly have you tried changing the settings in the menu on the dashboard display to see if that cures the problem or have you tried a NEW battery in the key fob in case it's getting low (Key Fob Battery is a Panasonic CR2032).

I'd try giving the latch a good spray of WD40 and working it by hand a few times to work it in before changing the key fob battery just in case the latch is sticking (key fob battery shouldn't cost much anyway, but any money saved is a bonus).
